Hello all, i have been breaking my brain trying to get connection pooling, using Tomcat 4.1.12's build in dbcp, with mySQL 3.23.
I have followed the instructions on the how this should be done, and I am getting an exception when I try to get a connection .. (like many other people it seems).. If anyone has solved this problem.. or has a link to a forum where this problem is answered please let me know.. I have downloaded mysql-connector-java-2.0.14.zip I unzipped it and copied : * the contents of WEB-INF/lib to my lib folder * contents of com to my WEB-INF/classes folder * contents of org to my WEB-INF/classes folder (this *does* contain org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver) This does not work. My jsp test code follows, and the Exception occurs on getConnection()... <%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*, javax.sql.*, javax.naming.*" errorPage="error.jsp" %> <% Context initContext = new InitialContext(); Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env"); DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/mehdi"); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); %> Exception is java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver' SERVER.XML <Context path="/mysql" docBase="mysql" debug="0" reloadable="true"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_DBTest_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/> <Resource name="jdbc/mehdi" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/mehdi"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <!-- Maximum number of dB connections in pool.
